We probably should write up something like that... possible with
guidelines and/or examples of summaries.

Probably not, but at least it would be something that search engines
would index and we can refer developers to.


On a related note, I also think that we may wish to place the current
"official" summary for these licenses on some webpage or wiki so we
can track which licenses we have looked at and what the current
consensus is on them. [And ideally link back to the original threads
dealing with them.]

As far as the users guide goes, I don't mind helping to write such a
thing if it would be helpfull. Likewise with the collection of
licenses that legal has dealt with.
